Oh, but Cosby couldn't be right?

From Aug. 22

Take a look at Juan William's article today in the Washington Post:Banish the Bling.

In the article, he discusses how the mindset of Black culture is one of the things holding so many of us in poverty. He defends Bill Cosby because Cosby is right: what good was Brown vs. the Board of Education and the civil rights movement if we don't take advantage of the opportunities afforded to us? They opened doors and we refuse to walk through for fear that "the man" might be on the other side and make it hard for us to get where we want to go. It's much easier to wait for Diddy to discover me rapping on the corner or for a scout to catch me hoopin it up at Rucker. Right. I'm not blaming the victim, as they say, but I'm realistic. The government is not interested in helping Black folks out of poverty. It rests solely on us to get out of this situation. Yet, black folks idolize rappers and athletes who misogynize women and glorify drugs and murder. David Banner makes some freaky songs, but at least the man got a college degree. Most folks don't know it, so they think they can't go to college and get that life that they are dreaming of (and dreaming of that life of conspicuous consumption is a whole nother post).
